UK CITI MD Put on Leave After Offsite Remarks

One of UK’s Top Bankers Put on Leave by Citi Pending Probe  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-1…

Apparently CITIs rainmaker co-head of UK capital markets and advisory was put on leave after making certain "remarks" to a female staffer during an offsite. Anybody at Shiti have anymore details on this? What did he day to her? Was she an Analyst?

Controversial

I know the guy. Very good at his job, very good to work for and well liked.

Very much cast from an old school mold. I dont have any details about the case, but to me it sounds like the case of a man of one generation being judged by the people of another.

These days there's no sense attending work social functions. All downside. HR has its little spies everywhere and you need to self censor to the point of not being able to express any personal opinion whatsoever (unless it's consistent with the virtue signaling sentiment handed down from Citi central)

“I dont have any details about the case”

Goes on to say “to me it sounds like the case of a man of one generation being judged by the people of another.”

If you don’t know what happened, maybe just keep your assumption to yourself. Reason being is because there’s a huge difference between making a sexual/rude joke to someone vs actually being a creep (asking her to come home with you).

 

Ah yes, just like the adage goes. Land of the free because of those too brave to grow a pair and take a joke.

 

Most of the guys at VP level and above don’t even come in to the office unless they have to, and I think it’s because of shit like this.

 

They did OCR at my (very woke) school. They spent the whole time talking about how it was hard work but alluded to how it was a great environment bc they are so woke from the top down starting from the C suite. L info session.

 

During an offsite in Barcelona, the Telegraph reports that Skarbek allegedly informed a "female analyst" that he needed "love and affection."

I haven’t seen anything highlighting the specifics further, but to me this is not an outrageous thing to say. If a female MD did this she wouldn’t even have to think twice about it. So much for equality lol.

 

I feel u bro…I wanna marry my associate lol. French females are actually a different specimen of human
